...intensity of the feud has few parallels in other democracies. In one corner is aggressive, right-of-center Shimon Peres, 57, the former Defense Minister who is trying to retain the Labor Party leadership he inherited in 1977. In the other is cautious, centrist, former Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin, 58, who was discredited by scandal 3½ years ago, but has been battling ever since to regain the leadership. Peres and Rabin have served in Cabinets together, and they even live within two blocks of each other in the same Tel Aviv suburb of Ramat Aviv...

Peres was not only guilty of "exaggerated pretensions," Rabin later charged in his memoirs, but also of "trying to disrupt the workings of the government" and even of "lies and untruths."

New Hampshire Republicans remain convinced that Durkin, despite his repeated denials, prevented the nomination from proceeding...
...Taylor, playing Mary, Queen of Scots, is peremptorily directing her director: "Jason, will you get that creep out of eye line?" "Who, me?" snarls Kim Novak, elaborately gowned as Queen Elizabeth I. "Jason," Taylor continues, violet eyes flashing, "would you put the Virgin Queen back in her cage?" A feud on the set between two aging prima donnas? Yes and no. The sniping is all in the script for The Mirror Crack 'd, a film based on a 1962 mystery novel by the late Agatha Christie. The two '50s movie queens portray two '50s movie queens...
